Because she is learning a diferent way on doing the math but if you add 1\6 to 5\6 then that will be a total of 5/8 so thats why its like that.

Well,5/6 is closer to one than 5/8 is,just add 1/6+5/6 and then you get 1,adding 1/8 to 5/8 is only 6/8,so that's how you can tell how it is greater! Hope this helps your daughter!

Answer:

($30s+g)

Step-by-step explanation:

If a caterer offers a package that feeds up to 50 people for $1,500, the amount of packaged that fed one person will be $1500/50 which is $30.

If there is an additional charge of $24.75 on each person, the total amount spent on each person will be $50+$24.75 which is $74.75.

The linear model that represent total amount charge per host s as a function of additional guest will be $30s+g since a person spent $30 plus additional charge of 'g'

Find the distance between the points (4, –2) and (0, 10).

$A(4,-2) \\B(0, 10) \\AB=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\AB=\sqrt{(0-4)^2+(10-(-2))^2} \\AB=\sqrt{16+144} \\AB=\sqrt{160}\approx\boxed{12.65} \\$
